課程概述

Course Description
It is widely acknowledged that the English Bible was fundamentally important to Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Reading Shakespeare biblically means not only paying attention to the numerous references to biblical figures, stories, and actual quotations from the Bible, but being alert to the multiplicity of biblical allusions, and deliberate confusions, adaptations and appropriations within Shakespeare’s own textual and cultural contexts or contemporary cultural frameworks that accommodated a particularly biblically-steeped cultural memory.
‘Shakespeare and biblical adaptation’ will explore the possibilities and limitations of conveying the relevance of biblical culture in Shakespeare’s texts and times to twentieth and twenty-first century audiences that are largely untutored in biblical texts. This course is open to graduate students.

課程目標

Course Objectives
This course will acquaint graduate students with some of Shakespeare’s many uses of the biblical text through close textual analysis of the chosen plays and encourage them to explore the possibilities and limitations of conveying Shakespeare’s biblical world through, primarily, the medium of film. The course is designed to enable graduate students to contribute to the growing international academic debate about Shakespeare, the Bible and adaptation studies.

課程要求

Requirements: Students must complete the readings in advance of seminars each week, to facilitate in-depth group discussion, circulate e-mail comments on readings each week and participate fully in the workshops. The mid-term and final work must be submitted on-time.

Assigned Readings:
Students should purchase a King James Version of the Bible and consult the earlier Reformation Bibles, most especially the Geneva Bibles, on EEBO.
They should also purchase a collected edition of Shakespeare’s works for class use, though they will want to consult several available editions for each of the plays in the library holdings for their research papers. The edition suggested for class use is Greenblatt, Stephen, et al., eds., The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition (second edition) New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2008.
